Gori & Uplistsikhe — Cave City Day Trip

How long does the tour last and what time does it start?

The tour runs about 9-10 hours, starting around 08:30 from your hotel in Tbilisi, though the departure time can be adjusted to suit you since every tour is private. You'll return to your Tbilisi hotel around 19:00.

What is included in the price, and what isn't?

Private tour, priced per person for two travelling together (see the price table above for 1, 3 and 4–6 travellers). A deposit of 20 % confirms the booking; the balance is paid on arrival or by secure card link before the tour. Free cancellation up to 7 days before departure, 50 % refund up to 48 hours before, no refund after that; if a mountain pass closes we re-route or reschedule at no cost. Full terms: gtour.ge/booking-conditions/.

Is this a private tour, and can we book as a solo traveller or larger group?

Yes, every departure is private with your own car and guide, adjusted to your preferences. The quoted price is per person for two travellers together; solo travellers and larger groups are quoted on request, so ask when booking.

Can the tour start from Kutaisi or Batumi instead of Tbilisi?

The standard pickup is from your hotel in Tbilisi, but since this is a private tour it can likely be arranged to start from Kutaisi or Batumi on request. Ask about this when booking so GTour can confirm feasibility and any adjustment to the route or price.

Is Uplistsikhe suitable for children or people with limited mobility?

The tour text doesn't give a specific age restriction, and families with children are generally welcome. However, Uplistsikhe is a cave city carved into rock with uneven, exposed terrain and about 1.5 hours of walking and climbing, so it may be challenging for those with limited mobility — ask GTour for advice on accessibility when booking.

What should we bring, and does the season matter?

Uplistsikhe is exposed with little shade, so in summer you should bring a hat, sunscreen, and water. The site is outdoors and best visited in good weather; comfortable walking shoes are recommended given the uneven rock surfaces throughout the cave city.

What will we see on this day trip?

The route covers Jvari Monastery near Mtskheta, Gori's fortress and the Stalin Museum, and the ancient rock-cut city of Uplistsikhe with its halls, temples and theatre carved into the cliff above the Kura river. Optionally, you can also visit Ateni Sioni church with its 11th-century frescoes on request.

Can this tour be combined with other destinations?

Yes, the tour text notes it combines well with Borjomi as a two-day trip. Mention this interest when booking so GTour can help arrange an extended itinerary.

How do we book and pay, and what if we need to cancel?
